FOUNTAIN WEALTH PARTNERS • LEADERSHIP • DAVID FOUNTAIN, CFP®
David Fountain, CFP® | Founder and lead wealth advisor
I provide objective fiduciary advice to help you retire with confidence. For 30 years, I've guided North Atlanta families through major wealth transitions with clear, fee-only planning.
Why software alone falls short: How automated algorithms fail during critical life transitions, tax adjustments, and market volatility.
The four pillars of human wealth management: How direct access to a dedicated senior advisor, 100% fee-only fiduciary independence, comprehensive wealth coordination, and long-term continuity protect your legacy.
What you can expect as a client: The exact written deliverables, fee transparency, and local face-to-face access you gain by partnering with an independent CFP® lead advisor.

Why I left the brokerage model
When I started in finance in the early 1990s, I worked inside traditional brokerage houses. I saw firsthand how those firms pushed advisors to sell in-house mutual funds, annuities, and high-commission products.
In January 1996, I left the brokerage world and founded Financial Consultants Group (now Fountain Wealth Partners) in Georgia. I built the practice on a strict standard: 100% fee-only fiduciary care. We work solely for our clients and never accept commissions, 12b-1 trailer fees, or referral kickbacks from banks, fund companies, or insurance providers.
Three decades later, that commitment remains our foundation.
